Independent of any of that stuff, if you want people to be able to
easily view them decades from now, print them. So far, paper is
universal. I know of no digital format that can make that claim with a
straight face, and I won't believe it anyway until the format has been
around and interchangeable for two or three or seven decades, minimum,
at which point I'll likely be long dead. :-)
